Pathanamthitta (Kerala) Govt Jobs 2026

Pathanamthitta, often called the ‘Pilgrim’s Capital of Kerala’, is home to the Sabarimala Ayyappa Temple — one of the world’s largest annual pilgrimage sites — which directly creates seasonal and permanent government employment in forest management, police deployment, health services, and Devaswom Board administration. The Travancore Devaswom Board, which administers Sabarimala and hundreds of temples, is a significant employer unique to districts in central-southern Kerala, with Pathanamthitta being its most active zone. Kerala PSC posts for Pathanamthitta include Sub Inspector of Police, ICDS Supervisor, and Junior Employment Officer, serving an educated district with high NRI employment awareness. KSEB’s Sabarimala project infrastructure and the Forest Department are critical state-level employers given the district’s dense forest cover and hydroelectric assets. NHM Kerala and the Tribal Welfare Department also post vacancies relevant to Pathanamthitta’s rural and forested sub-divisions. This page is the complete reference for Pathanamthitta government job notifications, admit cards, answer keys, and results.

Pathanamthitta district covers approximately 2,642 square kilometres across five talukas: Pathanamthitta, Ranni, Tiruvalla, Kozhencherry, and Adoor. With a population of around 12 lakh per the 2011 Census — one of Kerala’s smaller districts by population — Pathanamthitta has the highest NRI-to-resident ratio of any district in India, with a large percentage of working-age population employed in the Gulf. This NRI concentration gives the district a distinctive government employment culture heavily oriented toward Kerala PSC and central government competitive exams as the preferred local career path.

The Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB), the statutory body administering over 1,200 Hindu temples in erstwhile Travancore including the Sabarimala Ayyappa Temple, is one of the most district-specific government employers in Kerala.
